1:01 am
here and a several hour shootout between law enforcement and this nineteen year old suspect we do know that he suffered so serious injuries in the shootout and has been treated at a local hospital here in boston he suffered injuries to his throat and was unable to speak and this is precisely what officials have been waiting for to be able to communicate with him to find out the motives to the boston bombings as well as the participation of any pearl possible further accomplices and of course we have to note that the miranda rights off tonight have been revoked the right and he has to remain silent as well as a right to a lawyer are being deny to him because officials are interested in being able to question him without being able to use this right and the fact that his miranda rights have been revoked is receiving major criticism throughout the united states and causing really a lot of debate civil rights groups are saying that he should be able to have these rights provided to him. a u.s. citizen being investigated in
1:02 am
a criminal case but certainly this is not been the case officials are using the public safety clause and the criticism stems from the fact that they did say earlier that any immediate threat has been removed also it's important to mention that republican lawmakers in the united states have been suggest. that i have been treated as an enemy competent this is also been a topic of much debate because we are of course talking about a u.s. citizen or nine didn't become a naturalized citizen last year on september eleventh he has also lived in the united states since two thousand and two and this case involves u.s. a u.s. citizen committing a terror act on u.s. soil it's also important to know that a major aspect of this case that's being debated is the participation of the f.b.i. because as we do know back in two thousand and eleven they did receive a request from a foreign government this is russia's government that said that they should look into the identity of the older brother the older suspect to milan he did in fact bring to milan in for questioning the followed his phone calls they intercepted his
1:03 am
social relationships but did come to a conclusion that he is not dangerous and did end up freeing him of course because the f.b.i. right now is being criticized for this they're going to trace their steps back look into what exactly they could have missed but also try to establish right now with the second suspect being alive whether the two brothers had any kind of connection to extremist groups that they might have overlooked two years ago and in the time in the years and days leading up to the bombings that took place here in boston and also of course they're going to consider and look into the purposes of the trip that the older brother tamerlan when he went back to the north caucuses for about six months they're going to try to see whether or not this time was used for him to be able to communicate with extremist groups on the ground and. boston massachusetts. while the revelation that the boston terror suspects are of chechen origin has seen an influx of journalist to russia's north caucuses where the brothers family live and while the parents are no longer willing to comment on the
1:04 am
issue r.t. has been able to speak to another relative who knew the alleged bombers from childhood we are joined by within. a minute thank you very much for speaking with a small and what have you been able to find. what have the relatives told you. write well here in my high school like the capital of the dentist on republic really almost anyone who has any links with the top of my family is really in deep shock after what happened both relatives and friends now the brothers spare and stops talking to the media i asked her for early saturday but i managed to speak to a close relative of the family now her name is. and he was she was married to the boy's uncle now she told me how really tragic and difficult the life of the toddler i have family was and that for years they had been moving from one place to another as the father couldn't find a proper job and they've moved twice from kyrgyzstan's first to than to dagestan
1:05 am
where they span just a bit over a year and till they moved to the united states in two thousand and two she even showed us some pictures that we're taking during that time pictures that captured both brothers in their early going in one picture the older brother is just a bit over a year old now she spent a lot of time with time evelyn when he came here to dagestan last year to visit he has a parents and she describes him as a very soundly loving and caring young man and he talked a lot about his american wife catherine about their daughter he wished that they could have been here with him and when i asked her whether he expressed any interest in this she told me that his interest was never overwhelming. the middle and wasn't a religious fanatic he was curious about religion he started to be really interested in islam about three years ago but he was never a radical we would talk about his commitment to religion but it wasn't extreme.
1:06 am
it was really hard for her to speak she told me that. the younger brother was planning to come here to dagestan this may and now their father plans a. trip to the united states to bury his alice son time adeline so as for many here if she couldn't the woman couldn't really believe that they were involved in the tragedy. it's impossible to believe that they could have carried it out just impossible it's terrible but if you can believe it there are children who respected their parents a lot time alone was very attentive to older people to use family for him have been was of use mother's feet. both parents mobile phones are switched off or rarely own line and it's really impossible to reach them but i have since managed to speak to the mother of the two brothers and kept repeating their first
1:07 am
son's were in this and she also mentioned that her eldest son tamerlan was under constant surveillance for years when both parents before mentioned told them that the i'll be i can talk to him right after the boston bombings and ask him for questioning however the hour. later denied that information now as for the father i spoke with him also in a telephone conversation just yesterday and he told me that he doesn't want to talk to any media right now so really dozens of journalists from all over the world is that have descended on this region hope that the man's family will speak and eventually shed some light to how their boys and did up the main suspects in the boston terrorist attack. ok thank you. live from the north caucasus. former u.s. federal agent colleen rowley believes that u.s. citizens have fallen victim to the government's policy of picking good terrorists.
1:08 am
this idea terrorism is such a confusing concept because we have our terrorists and their terrorists it's the definition is supposed to be acts of violence against civilians for political purposes but you see this over and over where their they you us considers that there are good rebels and good freedom fighters at the very least the separatists in other countries are not considered as terrorists we have a whole establishment neoconservative as stablished in the us now i have only involved in propagandizing that there are good rebel groups for instance in iran is the latest example of the mujahideen call that actually was on the us terrorist list but now we have been delisted to become the good rebel fighters against iran. to check out r.t. dot com to get the full picture of what the past week has meant for the citizens of

1:10 am
a half million dollars just on the police surveillance around the same to see about the cost absolutely so that money is some money that should be spent on the people you know. why is the united team doing that it's between a number of different forces so you have the united states on the one hand the united kingdom feels that it cannot offend in any manner whatsoever cannot offend. on the other hand you have its. ships in europe that it wants to be seen in some ways in europe to be part of europe its mystic population in a part of europe. the united kingdom actually wants to ship the problem away as fast as possible but now of course it overstepped is that another state has intervened ecuador so it's not right and we want to project our bodies
1:11 am
in showing to do that is not right. and so there is a clash now of cultures is the. rule of law. and your property. for me one has wrapped up in bahrain with antigovernment protesters clashing with police in the bid to disrupt the controversial event security offices stormed the areas where prayer for my activists gathered suppressing most opposition marches protestors had been using the formula one race to draw attention to human rights abuses in the country demanding more international pressure on the ruling family so he shall be from bahrain freedom movement says the monarchy is trying to distract attention from the level of unrest in the country. if you wish you'd be very clear out of hundred. round the country schools. around two hundred. the process. if you want to call the future if you wish to find what. reality is not.

welcome back the u.s. military has acknowledged that i have a heart of guantanamo bay prisoners and i one hunger strike among the protestors five have been put in hospital with life threatening conditions and sixteen being force fed. again explains why the inmates have resorted to such desperate measures . here's a breakdown of who's currently held captive at the u.s. prison in guantanamo fifty four percent are yemeni nationals that is ninety five captives out of one hundred sixty six just a few more figures a total of eighty six prisoners there have been cleared for release fifty six of them yemeni nationals three years ago the u.s. suspended all transfers of detainees to yemen what seems to aggravate the
1:15 am
psychological torture of indefinite detention is knowing that your nationality is something that you cannot control is the sole basis of that ordeal defense lawyers say what they deal with now is collective punishment by the u.s. government based on nationality which is a clear violation of international law when pressed for answers the administration the state department specifically which was in charge of those transfers they point the finger at congress at the moratorium that the lawmakers put in place that the defense authorization act that they passed but lawyers say those are just excuses our clients are coming to grips with cold the me will die is going to not because the state is unable to transfer but because unwilling to do so the transfer restrictions are difficult for example they would require the secretary of defense to personally certify that a receiving state has taken steps to ensure that a prisoner can ever stretton the united states in the future whatever threaten might mean in that context. and obviously no state can guarantee that
1:16 am
a future event will or will not occur but that was the point the point was to discourage transfers from guantanamo citizens of forty eight countries in total have been held in guantanamo since the opening of the prison in two thousand and two the majority of them were from afghanistan and over the years most of them have been transferred back to afghanistan the second largest group of captives were from saudi arabia then yemen then pakistan but you see the scope of the manhunt it included forty eight countries as of now it's not just the yemeni nationals who are stuck in this legal limbo but the rest as well michael williams. senior advisor for guantanamo policy in the office of the legal advisor at the u.s. department of state testified before a human rights commission and here's what he said we will continue to work through the secretary of state and the other arms for us government to accomplish transfers first of all mr williams of the state department gave this testimony in the middle of march that is three months after the state department shut down the office that
1:17 am
was working on those transfers so it is not clear how they continue to work on it if they shut down the office that was doing that also defense lawyers present at this commission hearing saw the response was an attempt to water down the core issue to block it down in legal details which seem to have no effect on the outcome of the indefinite detention that they're asking for or justifying is under the laws of war and in the states united states mind that that. that war ends at the end of hostilities against two al qaeda and associated forces well what does that mean that's indefinite that is the epitome of indefinite some here have voiced the idea that whatever is keeping most of those people there has nothing to do with the law but more with the fear that even those who had been wrongfully captured and held there for years for no reason have weakness so much at that prison including torture and other forms of humiliation that fear that the u.s.
1:18 am
may have created its own enemies there you have dozens of people cleared for release and still languishing in prison so they may have fallen victim not just to their wrongful capture but now to do worse politicians assumptions of what they may or may not do in the future in washington i'm going to check on and we have plenty more stories for you website r.t. dot com including debates from anonymous call for a web black cat in protest over a new from a cyber intelligence bill that allows authorities to harvest private information without a warrant plus. nasa's kepler telescope spots three planets where human life may be sustainable while still scanning the skies for an earth like home with a star like the sun all the details for you at our website at r.t. dot com.
